The French capital will now host a new Sunday Traditional Mass in one of its most beautiful Churches, the Val-de-Grâce (before the Revolution, the Abbatial Church of the Royal Abbey of Our Lady of Val-de-Grâce), built at the request of Anne of Austria, the Spanish Princess who became Queen of France upon marrying Louis XIII, and Regent upon his death.
The Abbey was the fulfilment of a vow made in recognition of the birth of her first son, the future Louis XIV.
The Mass will be at the late hour of 8:30 p.m., very useful for those occupied during the day for various reasons, and will be Celebrated by Fr. Jérôme Maljean, of the Military Ordinariate of France, which is in charge of the Church. (Source: Paix Liturgique).

The following Text is from Wikipedia - the free encyclopædia,
unless stated otherwise.
The Church of Our Lady, Val-de-Grâce, is a Roman Catholic Church in the 5th Arrondissement of Paris.
The Church was built as part of a Royal Abbey by Anne of Austria, the Queen of France, to celebrate the birth of her son, Louis XIV in 1638.
Construction began in 1645 under the direction of architect François Mansart and was completed in 1665 by Gabriel Le Duc.[1][2]
The Abbey and Church were turned into a hospital during the French Revolution and then became part of the Val-de-Grâce Hospital, which closed in 1979.
The Church is attached to the Diocese of the French Military and is open to visitors at specified hours. Its Dome is a landmark in Paris.[3]
